Great tutor.

All my 3 children have worked with Brittany and love her. She is patient with them and has a very sweet demeanor. She comes prepared and has a wonderful teaching style. She's always on time and responds quickly by text or email.

Eric, 38 lessons with Brittany

Wonderful with Kids!

My kids (2nd grade and K) absolutely adore Brittany. She is patient and kind, but focused. They really enjoy their sessions with her and their confidence is really growing. For me, Brittany is extremely responsive by email and text. Fantastic all around!!

Kim, 17 lessons with Brittany

Kids love her!

Brittany has been great to work with this summer. Both of my kids work well with her and she is very patient with them and they can be a little "huggy" and a bit on the curious side - lots of questions. She has connected well with them and is adjusting the tutoring sessions and approaches based on each child's needs.
